How DELVE Helped Partners in Health Boost Awareness of Their Initiatives and Capture a New Generation of Supporters

CHALLENGE

Partners in Health (PIH) aimed to boost awareness of their initiatives and capture a new generation of supporters and donors by integrating digital, broadcast, print, and streaming media — including the Netflix release of the documentary, Bending the Arc. This included identifying, engaging, and ultimately converting donors. Of particular interest was the acquisition of new donors and collecting and building a strong email list to enable ongoing donor engagement and fundraising.

DELVE was tasked with developing a captivating digital media strategy to reach and involve new audiences with an emphasis on acquisition of Millennials and re-activating older, lapsed and existing donors.

APPROACH

Full-Funnel Campaign Strategy

Because the customer journey is not linear, DELVE developed a multi-touch, full-funnel strategy to drive awareness and engagement along each step of the journey:

  1. Brand Awareness: Identify new high-potential audiences based on strategic niche targeting. Leverage Bending the Arc support to reach new audiences to build PIH brand support. Expose and inspire new PIH audiences to the brand’s mission with the goal of heightening their interest in supporting PIH goals.
  1. Email Acquisition: Prospect potential new supporters based on key triggers to acquire new email leads to maintain a strong email list for future fundraising opportunities in H2 and EOY. Continue to engage new PIH audiences, motivating them to learn more about the brand by becoming a supporter (e.g. email acquisition).
  1. Fundraising: Convert new and current PIH supporters (but not yet donors) to both single and sustained monthly donations, through retargeting users with compelling copy and imagery. Compel current, lapsed and likely donors to convert to single and/or monthly sustained donors.

Multi-Channel Media Strategy

DELVE applied its data-driven media experience to integrate multiple advertising channels to support the full-funnel strategy:

Dynamic Creative Optimization

DELVE developed multiple dynamic banner templates, allowing for seamless testing of different images and copy and the flexibility to update messaging and imagery without fully developing new assets. In addition to image and copy testing, this approach uses machine learning to automatically optimize towards the top performing copy and imagery combinations. This allows for efficient media spend, prioritizing top performing assets to see the strongest results. 

In the first several months of the campaign, three CTAs for Fundraising stage campaigns were tested and the conversion rate for the top performer was 2X higher than the next best CTA, while CTR was 30% higher. This same approach was applied to all elements of the ads, including headline, copy and images. 

RESULTS

Overall, DELVE drove a robust omni-channel paid media strategy which exceeded goals and drove approximately 81% more digital revenue YoY during H1 2021.

Through strategic targeting and media approaches, DELVE delivered a 1: 1.8 ROAS and increased digital revenue by 52% in just two months via the Bending the Arc media channel.
